Unable to manage residential groups

• Cannot get Windows 7 homegroups to work properly. Double-click a shared library on another machine in the residential group doesn't.

  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, so I decided to try the new homegroup in Windows 7 feature.  I activated the homegroup on my desk and apart from the music, photos and videos.  I then joined the residential group with the new portable computer using the password provided by the office shared libraries and the same 3 homegroup.  All appeard to put up correctly, but I can't browse libraries shared each machine to other machine.  I have the Homegroup and click on the other machine and I see 3 libraries, but when I click on any one of them does nothing.  This happens on both machines.   The only way I can get the residential groups to work is to first go to the other machine and provide credentials on the other machine.  After doing this, the homegroup files begin to work.  I was under the impression that the homegroup password was all I had to have access to all shared folders with the homegroup, but the only way I can get the homegroup to work is first authenticate itself to other machine using a user name and password.

  The two machines are configured with the following:

  • Network discovery is enabled
  • File sharing and printer is enabled
  • Public folder sharing is on
  • Streaming Media is on
  • File sharing connections is configured to use 128-bit encryption
  • Password protected sharing is on
  • Homegroup connections is set up to allow Windows to manage.

  I came across this forum because I had the same problem today. Real quickly, I have two laptops, one running windows 7 Home premium 32-bit and the other runs windows 7 Professional 32-bit. I have comcast for my internet provider and their cable modem attached to my belkin wireless router. I don't know if my fix will work for someone else, but it worked for me, so this is.

  1. unplug the router cable modem wireless
  2. connect the router to one of your computers using an ethernet cord
  3. open a web browser and type in the IP address of the router in the Web page bar (as when you type hotmail.com to go check your email). Mine is a belkin so 192.168.2.1 has worked for me.
  4. the control of the router page should open, and one of the options should be to reset factory settings, do this.
  5. DO NOT CONNECT THE ROUTER TO THE CABLE MODEM
  6 configure the router in the same way that you did when you first installed the router, but just to be sure, I used another name for the network
  7. Once you have the password set up and named network you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
  8. connect to the new network without wire of each computer (just like when you connect to a wireless network) choose House (rather than work or public) for the network location.
  9. at this stage my homegroup didn't work, if it is not there for you, you may need to set up the homegroup in Control Panel.
  10. once the residential group is working the way you want to connect the router wireless to the modem cable and check to see if your internet connection is working by opening a web browser and go to any old site
  Hope this helps!

• How to share a second hard drive with the residential group / network?

  Initially, I posted this to the security and privacy but we told him it should be under the sons of the network.  Here's hoping someone can help.

  I have a desktop computer and a laptop both running W7 Home Professional 64 bit.  On the desktop, I have 2 hard drives - C has programs, D has the data.  On the laptop, I'm just a hard drive.

  Each machine can see the other time under residential group and network.  From the Office I can access files that are on the laptop but I can't do the reverse.

  The laptop can see the desktop drive D and all folders that I shared, but when I try to dig into a folder I get a message saying I don't have permission to access the folder.  In this case, if I try to access using either homegroup or the network.

  On the desktop, when I look at the properties of the D drive it shows as a shared network drive.  Individual records within D show shared with permissions of read/write with anyone and/or homegroup.

  What did I do wrong (or failed to do) to allow me to access the files on the disk D of desktop from the laptop?

  Hello

  Step 1: Try to run the troubleshooter of shared folders and check.
  Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Share-files-with-someone

  Step 2: Try to give permissions to specific user through which you are trying to access these files or folders.
  Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727008.aspx

  Step 3: You can also try the advanced sharing and check.

• Residential group with VPN settings?

  What's up with the homegroup? It works on a home network with one or two of the PCs connected to a remote domain through a VPN connection?

  I unplugged all VPNs and then a PC sees each other on the residential group, but the other does not... Both Win7 Pro/Ulitmate. Why is it so hard to do what Citrix, I thought was owned by MS, or other third-party companies SW do it very carefully. I want just a simple home network?

  Hello
   

  Homegroup relies on IPv6 and therefore will not work over a VPN connection.

  Hi Nathan,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  Need you same name of working group on different computers to connect over the network to the working group.

  I suggest you try to change the name of workgroup instead of the domain name. See the article for more information on the same:

  Join or create a workgroup

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/join-or-create-a-workgroup

  You can also read the following article to know the difference between a domain, a workgroup, and a homegroup:

  To remove the unwanted plug-ins in the list of Plug-ins available:

     VCenter_Server_name_or_IP/fmt is the name of your server vCenter or its IP address.

  2. Click on content.

• Unable to manage search engines, press ok nothing!

  I have a list of about 15 search engines added to search bar (all usual and famous sites), but somehow all of a sudden I have been unable to organize them or even to change order of them.
  When I select Manage from the drop-down list of the search bar search engines, that options window opens ok.
  Then, if I change the order or delete or even tap on restore settings by default, and then click the ok button will save ever this new settings or close the window and nothing to do other than press Cancel.

  After some tests, I found that changing the order of some engines work ok.
  I tried everything and I don't want to lose my firefox profile, there's a lot of hard work.

  Vallovic a coincidence I found the solution today and I was going to report to what is the problem.

  It is all caused by an add-on called «keyword.url hack»
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/keywordurl-hack/
  It solves the most incredible change of Mozilla, when they destroyed the independent address search engine bar.
  Unfortunately I need this add-on hard so I'll stay with the same workaround, you mentioned to solve this problem.

  I wrote a study on the page Add on reporting the issue.
  If you are not a user of it check your modules one by one until you find the bugy one.

  Good luck.

• Residential group number! I can't change the password or leave the group. Convenience store can not solve the prob

  I did a clean install of OS win7 ultimate. If I try to change the PW, it says that windows cannot configure a homegroup on this computer... but still, he said that this computer belongs to a homegroup. If I try to leave the homegroup, it says windows could not remove the computer from the group. Troubleshooting, declare that the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service or peer network identity Manager is not open. If I go in services, it shows that the NIBPM is automatic and the PNRP protocol is manual. If I try to start the PNRP protocol, it is said that windows didn't start the service because of the error code # 0 x 80630801. Peer Networking Grouping also gets error code # 1068.

  Hello

  On the Start Menu, open the control panel and open Folder Options.  Click on the view tab, check the radio button titled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and out the box "Hide extensions of known file types".  Click on apply to apply these changes.

  Then go to C\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming to Local disk and open the PeerNetworking folder.  Inside, you should see a file called idstore.sst.  Delete this file.  Close this window and return to Folder Options then re - hide hidden files folders and drives and extensions of known file types.

  Restart the PC and let Windows load completely.

  Now, check if the following services appear as shown below, and if they are not, if you can set them up now.

  Peer Networking Grouping this should see the service type as Manual and the service is expected to show that started.

  HomeGroup Provider should show as Manual startup type, and the service should show as started.

  Peer name resolution should see commissioning type as Manual and the service is expected to show that started.

  Peer Networking Identity Manager should display type as Manual startup and service should show as started.

  If they are all able to start, or have already started, see if Homegroup now works properly.

  Kind regards

• Best practices using vWorkspace User Management or group policy?

  What is considered to allow faster connections: setting options in the vWorksapce of management of user environment or by using Group Policy to apply settings?

  When environment vWorkspace user settings apply to what is group policy? Before or after?

  Hi John,.

  I think it depends on what you're trying to reach. It may also depend on if you have users outside of your virtual desktop environment, if you do, then group policy may be the best meet the needs of all your users.

  I've seen good results with combined required Windows and metaprofiles vWorkspace profiles.

  Regarding the second question, yet once it depends on the GPO but vWorkspace profile settings apply to log on.

  I hope this helps.

  Thanks, Sam
